(Read the novel) As for the full-body 3D images of the mex family and Christopher Fussen and his son, the special effects team has already produced a finished product that he is very satisfied with, but the alien spaceships, mechs and other things still need more time.

After basically finishing the work in Vancouver, he returned to Los Angeles. In addition to preparing the camera equipment needed for the start-up shooting, looking for stuntmen for blasting and flying cars, determining the final actors for some small roles, and discussing promotional plans with the company's distribution department... ...in addition to his "District 9" work; he also has a few days to film with the upcoming "Honey" crew, and also attends the premiere of "High School Musical 3."

The packed movie hall was filled with joyful and enthusiastic music, and the young people on the big screen laughed and danced to their heart's content, leaving behind a beautiful youth. When the last scene ended, the credits were played on the screen, and thunderous applause erupted in the screening hall. Crew members, guests, media reporters and movie fans all clapped and applauded, as well as cheers and whistles. Shouting and laughing with the fans: "Tom, Troy", "Jessica, Rachel please, please continue to act", "Yan, amazing Yang, please make another school musical movie"

Behind the auditorium, the young fans all stood up, all smiling, or waving their fists, or shouting with amplified hands, their voices suddenly became louder and louder: "What team? Wildcats, Wildcats! "Most of these fans are high school students, and when they first watched "High School Musical 1", they were still in junior high school, and the high school students at that time have already entered college. It can be said that the "High School Musical" series has accompanied their lives. A most beautiful time of youth.

During this period of time, they may have the worst trauma in their lives. After many years, they may feel that it is no big deal, or regret it for a lifetime; they will also have the happiest memories in their lives, and they will laugh whenever they think about it. They're adults who think like adults, but are young enough to be completely independent, to make some life-changing decisions, and to fall deeply in love.

Listening to their applause and shouts, Wang Yang smiled and clapped vigorously, feeling that he was really honored. He looked around Jessica, Rachel, Zachary, Tom Welling, etc. who were familiar and mature The smiling face seemed to return to April 28, 1999, a day that will never be forgotten. He looked at Jessica, who was wearing a white evening dress, and said with a smile, "It's over."

With a sweet smile on her face, Jessica looked at the rolling staff list on the big screen, nodded and said: "Well, it's over." She also felt a lot of emotion in her heart,

Thinking of a lot of things, she was only 17 years old at that time, heard that Jan was going to make a musical, participated in the audition, got the leading actress, got together with him, went to Salt Lake City to shoot...then had a wonderful 18 years old Birthday.

She couldn't help thinking again, what if she had foolishly chosen "The Idle Hand"? Regardless of acting career or life, you will take another path and become another person, right? Who knows, but now she is very happy and happy. Seeing his smiling face, Jessica also smiled and held his hand tightly. She will not allow anyone or anything to destroy these happiness

When all the credits were rolled, the Flame Movie logo lit up on the big screen, and the applause rang out again. Sarah Sugarman, Wang Yang, and all the leading actors stood up with smiles: "Thank you, thank you "

Amidst the excitement, the premiere of "High School Musical 3" officially came to an end. "High School Musical" has set off a global whirlwind of singing and dancing, and has been praised as "saving campus musicals" and "pioneering youth idol films in the new era". The movie series also came to an end. That night, many young fans from 3,175 theaters in North America responded to the promotional call of the flame movie and had a final madness. Everyone sighs that time flies.

The audience who left the venue were also talking about the film and trilogy just now with their friends and partners. The voices of 3175 theaters were talking a lot. The blonde girl Keira said to her friends with a smile: "The first one is still the most exciting. It's either that Yang is the director or it's not good." It’s a lot better.” She heard a few boys passing by say: “Jessica is getting hotter and hotter, the first part was just sweet, now wow, sweet and sexy…”, “Rui Qiu Ye is much prettier, what happened to these women..."

The curly-haired white boy sighed again, "It's a pity, I knew that Wang Yang is actually an antique, and there is still no kiss scene in the whole movie." Another blond and fat boy wondered: "That's not made by him, okay?" The white boy said disdainfully. : "Why are you so stupid? He must have given orders. He is the boss, who dare not listen? Anyway, it doesn't matter if there is a kiss scene or not." The blond fat boy said: "So it's okay if there is no, the movie is very good. "The white boy waved his hand and walked straight outside: "I don't want to talk to you."

After the premiere, the crew members of "High School Musical 3", family members and friends all went to the hotel for a celebration dinner. The banquet hall was very lively, everyone gathered together with laughter and laughter, or tasted food and drinks, and the waiters shuttled around, making it very lively. Holding a glass of wine, Wang Yang was talking with Anne Fletcher about the shooting of "Sweetheart".

The preliminary preparations for "Sweetheart" have been completed; the leading actors have practiced hard for several months, and they have also met the requirements for filming. If they are unable to complete some individual difficult moves by then, then consider using a substitute to complete those lens.

The supervisory work that Wang Yang has to do, apart from following the film for a few days at the beginning and once every half a month in the middle, is to check the storyboard script written by Anne Fletcher, give comments and make revisions together. When he returned to Los Angeles two days ago, he had already read the script and had the first discussion. Seeing Anne-Fletcher, he said: "Annie, the design on the lens does not need to be so rigid, you are a little too cautious now, but cartoon-style exaggeration does not matter, when it is time to be lively, be lively, young and enthusiastic , dance, dance"

Anne-Fletcher nodded seriously, and said: "I do have some, be careful." She smiled, raised the red wine in her hand to take a sip, and said helplessly: "This is the first time I write a storyboard, I When writing, I always think about whether this is good or not, and whether that will make mistakes..."

"Well, I understand, but you have to relax." Wang Yang did decompression movements with both hands, rubbed his temples, and said softly: "Relax your brain, cut off those worries, irritability, cautious...all The messy external emotions are integrated into the world of the script, and the corresponding emotions in it are produced, so that you can design that kind of great and brilliant picture, instead of only 'close-up shots' and 'long-range shots'..."

Anne-Fletcher looked thoughtful, Wang Yang stopped talking, and said with a smile: "Stop talking about these things, let's talk about these things tomorrow. Anne, relax and enjoy the party" Anne-Fletcher He smiled, raised his tall red wine glass to toast, and said, "Okay, you too."

Wang Yang also respected her, and went to look for Jessica and others. Soon he saw Jessica, Rachel, Zachary, girlfriends Erin and Joshua standing together not far away. Talking about something, he walked over to Jiang Ye and said hello, "Hello, everyone"

"Jan." Jessica smiled sweetly at him, Wang Yang kissed her on the cheek, looked at the smiling Rachel, and the grinning Zachary, and asked with a smile: "What are you talking about?" Zachary smiled Hehe replied: "We have been recalling some interesting things in the "High School Musical" series, and it will take three years." Both Jessica and Rachel nodded, and Zachary's eyes suddenly lit up, and said: "I A new topic came to mind, about this movie, what is the most memorable thing for you? Ladies first, the heroine Jessica?"

Everyone looked very interested, looking at Jessica who was the first to speak. She tilted her head, pursed her lips and thought for a while, and said, "I, what I remember most is..." She shook Wang Yang's hand beside her, grinning and said, "Yang and I acted opposite each other. , that was fun"

"Huh——" before she finished speaking, Joshua puffed his lips to imitate the sound of farting, and everyone laughed. Jessica glared at her younger brother and said, "What? You have an opinion? But it's true She looked at Wang Yang who was smiling, and suddenly made a grimace, and said, "You all know that I am King NG. I am most afraid of hearing his 'CUT' before the show is over, but it just keeps going. CUT, CUT, CUT..."

Seeing her depressed look, everyone laughed, Wang Yang laughed and shouted: "CUT that Jessica, -D" Jessica couldn't help laughing, punched him, and said mysteriously: "Why do I have a deep memory? Because that time Yang was cut badly by Sarah, he was about to lose his temper, I remember it very clearly"

Rachel and Zachary immediately nodded in agreement and laughed jokingly for a while. Wang Yang frowned innocently and said, "What? When am I going to lose my temper?" Jessica shrugged and said, "You have Yes." Rachel also smiled and said, "Yang, don't deny it." Wang Yang coughed, pointed at her and said, "Then Rachel, what is your deepest memory?"

"Me?" Rachel smiled, she didn't tell the truth, she just said that she was the second in my heart, and said with a smile: "I remember your speech the most, when you stood on the stage, full of confidence and leak* Some..." Realizing that it was wrong to say this, she immediately changed her tone, imitating Wang Yang's voice, clenched her fists and said: "Guys, let's kick their ass hard!"

Jessica also smiled and said: "Well, I also remember, Jessica who got into the water." Wang Yang smiled and pushed her head, Zachary nodded and said: "How could I forget? That speech was great. At this time, Joshua interjected: "Just like Hitler, gurgling gurgling..."

Everyone looked at him suspiciously, and Jessica said, "Joshua, it seems that you were in Los Angeles at that time, right?" Joshua looked at her with a strange look on his face and said, "Don't you know? Human beings have imagination." Everyone laughed again, and was about to let the next person talk, when Zachary suddenly saw Tom Welling approaching, and shouted: "Hey, Tom"

Tom Welling in a black suit came over, greeted everyone, looked at Wang Yang and Zachary, and said, "Yang, Zachary, come with me." He smiled at the girls , said: "I have some questions about men." Jessica, Irene and Rachel all nodded, watched the three of them walk away, and continued to chat with each other. Joshua scratched his head, and suddenly shouted at them: "Hey, why isn't there me?"

The two followed Tom to the side, and seeing that he seemed very nervous, Wang Yang asked, "What's the matter, Tom?" Tom Welling took a long breath, looked around the lively surroundings, He carefully took out something from his pocket, and said, "Man, I'm going to propose to Jamie later." He spread out his palm, and a beautiful silver diamond ring was quietly lying on the palm of his hand.

Both Wang Yang and Zachary were stunned for a while, asking for a marriage proposal? He blinked, looked at the ring, and said, "Dude, let's do it." Zachary also nodded blankly and said, "Well, let's do it."

"But I don't know if today is a good time, and I don't know if she will agree..." Tom still frowned with nervousness on his face, and said, "You know this is not a movie, if she Say, that kills me but I'm 24 and I love her and I just think it's time we move on to another phase of our lives..."

He took another breath, clenched his fist tightly, and said, "Honestly, I'm very nervous now, is this the right timing? What do you think?"

"Hmm." Wang Yang wiped his forehead, and was a little nervous because of Tom. He thought for a while and said, "I don't know, I don't have any experience in this field." He couldn't help chuckling, and continued: " But today's timing, I think it's pretty good, although it's not very romantic, but it's fun enough. Tom, I think Jamie will agree, all you have to do now is to muster up your courage." He patted Tom encouragingly arm.

Tom Welling nodded, his expression gradually became serious, and he made up his mind. Zachary also patted his other arm a few times, and said with a smile: "Tom, when you get married in the future, I will be the best man Ah, I've wanted to be the best man for a long time." Wang Yang smiled and said, "I want to too." Zachary said enthusiastically again, "And the farewell bachelor party, where should we go? Las Vegas? Or..."

Wang Yang suddenly hissed and interrupted Zachary. He looked at a tall, black-haired white woman in the direction ahead, and said, "Tom, Jamie is here." Tom Welling looked back Looking around, he took a deep breath and said to the two: "Brothers, I'll go then." Both Wang Yang and Zachary high-fived him and watched him walk towards his girlfriend Jamie White.

I saw Tom walked in front of her and chatted, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry to take out the ring. Wang Yang also returned to Jessica and the others. He looked at Tom who was not far away, and said softly, "Something big is about to happen." Jessica looked at Jiang Ye curiously, and asked with a smile, "Yang ,What's wrong?"

"Jamie" Tom Welling suddenly called loudly, while kneeling on one knee, he took out the silver diamond ring from his pocket. The people around naturally understood what was going to happen immediately, and they all fell silent with smiles on their faces. Jessica widened her eyes excitedly, and hugged Wang Yang's arm "Oh my God"; Rachel, Irene and others were also very surprised, and Joshua wowed...

Jamie White covered his mouth with his hands in surprise and joy, Tom Welling looked up at her affectionately, and said: "Jamie, meeting, acquainting, and falling in love with you is the best arrangement God has given me. I fell in love with you from the first moment I saw you, I knew 'this is my wife'..."

Joshua read it softly and repeatedly, preparing to write it down and use it when Scarlett Johansson confessed his love. Tom Welling over there didn't say anything, just looked into Jamie's eyes and said with a smile, "I love you, Jamie, will you marry me?"

"YES" Jamie smiled happily, nodded without hesitation, and said with a smile, "I do." Tom suddenly laughed excitedly, and everyone around him cheered loudly, clapping and cheering. Bless them. Amid the applause and blessings, Tom smiled and put the ring on Jamie's left ring finger, stood up and kissed her.

Jessica clapped her hands vigorously, with a look of excitement and envy on her face, and said, "Wow, getting married..." She turned her head to look at Wang Yang, then at Tom and Jamie over there, and then at Wang Yang. To see him……

"Tommy, Jamie, congratulations!" Wang Yang shouted with a smile. He was very happy for the two of them. He clapped his hands and smiled to Jessica next to him, "Tom's female fans will be very sad." He looked at Tom Welling, who was smiling brightly, and thought of the shy boy who auditioned in New York three years ago... It's over, the stage of "High School Musical" is over.

Rachel is going back to college to study for a while; Zachary is talking about a role in a comedy movie; Tom is getting married soon; Jessica is making a new movie... The next stage of life, soon Just n.

Late at night, in the bedroom.

"I am willing..." Jessica in her sleep raised the corners of her mouth foolishly, and murmured dreamily: "I am willing, Yang, I am willing..." Wang Yang next to him turned over and continued to sleep soundly .
